ISH Board members Andrew Ammerman, Senior Executive Advisor to the Pentagon Memorial Fund, and Barbara Slavin, Chairman of ISH’s Committee on International Dialogue, organized this program which included a tour of the Pentagon and the 9/11 Memorial.   The visit included a discussion on the history of the Pentagon, the tragic events of the 9/11 attack and first response, as well as the conception and design of the outdoor Pentagon Memorial and future plans for the 9/11 Pentagon Visitor Education Center. The tour also included a visit to the internal crash area memorial and chapel, and the outdoor memorial.
